Vince McMahon Allegedly Manipulated Talent Backstage With ‘Jedi Mind Tricks’

TLDR

Mr. Kennedy revealed on the Mic Check podcast that Vince McMahon would use "Jedi mind tricks" to manipulate WWE talent during backstage meetings in his office. According to Kennedy, wrestlers would enter meetings determined to stand their ground on creative ideas, but McMahon would calmly reframe their concerns and walk them through his logic until they second-guessed themselves and agreed with his approach. Kennedy described how talent would leave feeling satisfied with the meeting, only to realize once outside the office that McMahon had convinced them to continue doing things his way.
